Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Am I really pregnant?

A. The only way to be sure that you are pregnant is to confirm your pregnancy with a lab quality urine pregnancy test. Heartbeats Women's Center offers these pregnancy tests for free, and you will know the results on the same day.

Q. If I am pregnant, what are my options?

A. If your test comes back positive, you have several options. You can either decide to parent, have an abortion, or place your child for adoption. At your appointment, we can provide you with information regarding your options.

Q. Someone told me I have to have an abortion. Can I say no?

A. No one can force you to do anything you don't want to do. Abortions are medical procedures and only you can make the decision to have one, not even your parents, your friends or your boyfriend. Sometimes the people close to us offer advice or even tell us what to do, but no one can force you to have an abortion.

And while you take our easy self-guided classes, you can earn points for great items like baby clothes, diapers, formula, strollers and more.

There's a lot of help out there, so don't feel overwhelmed.
